ECAT Phase 2 Result 2026 to Be Announced on June 23rd

In a rapid turnaround, UET has confirmed that the ECAT Phase 2 result 2026 will be declared on June 23rd, 2026 just two days after the conclusion of the testing window. Results will be made available online via the official UET result portal, as well as through SMS services for registered mobile numbers.

Best Marks from ECAT Phase 1 and Phase 2 to Be Considered for Fall 2026 Admissions

In a policy that benefits all applicants, UET has reiterated that the best marks from ECAT Phase-1 and Phase-2 will be considered for Fall 2026 admissions . This means that if a candidate appeared in both phases, the higher score will be used to calculate their aggregate merit. Students who only participated in Phase 2 will have their Phase 2 marks counted directly.

This rule provides a safety net for students who may have underperformed in the first phase due to nervousness or other factors. The final merit lists for engineering colleges will be prepared based on the following formula:

• ECAT Score (Best of Two Phases): 30% weightage

• F.Sc./A-Level Equivalence: 70% weightage

ECAT Phase 2 Is the Final Test for Fall 2026 Admissions
